Chess Club meeting today. 5th-8th will meet at 3:15 and 2nd-4th will meet at 4:15 in Ms. Sisco's room.
The strawberry is a symbol of Love and Friendship in the Cherokee Culture. It's also a reminder not to quarrel or argue. Mrs. Davenport's classes had the opportunity to visit with Ms. Olivia Jorgensen from the Cherokee Nation Education Department. Ms. Olivia talked with the students about the cultural significance of the strawberry. She also taught them how to use everyday items to extract the DNA from the strawberry. The students enjoyed the hands-on experience and were able to discuss different parts of the plant cell that they had previously learned in class. Thank you Cherokee Nation and Ms. Olivia for this fun experiment and learning expansion opportunity.
